I've actually shot at a match with a guy on the forums that lives about an hour from me. bullseye1x

Yer actually not to far from the last place I shot a M1/Springfield/Vintage match at Camillus Sportsmans club. Very nice place to shoot and there are actual pits to work when yer not shooting or scoring. I will go to at least one of the matches this year. They run 3 CMP matches as well as some NRA Highpower matches.

They do NRA High Power too like I said but thats an 80 round course. The CMP course of fire they do is only 35 rounds so its a bit cheaper to shoot. I will post again when I know for sure which ones I am going too. The August one for sure, cant do July, gone on vaca and maybe the May one.

in reference to May 27th what is a AR15 / M1 Clinic and what are the requirements to be eligible to shoot in the 200yd match.

I am pretty sure you need to be a member of a CMP affiliated club. Cheapest way is via the Garand Collectors Association for $25 a year and you get a beautiful color magazine 4-6 times a year. If you already have a CMP Garand then yer all set because you must already belong to a CMP affiliate.

Now, about the clinic, here is what is on their flyer.

Learn the AR15 and M1 Rifle !
Open to Adults and Juniors 12 and older who can safely handle a rifle.
You will be paired with an experienced high power shooter who will instruct
